This is a song for Max, and since Tanya purports to have middle-class aspirations (along with hair extensions, acryllic fingernails and dirty knickers), I've used the original Italian version). You'll recognise the song and its subject.
(By the way, zucchero means "sugar."
Yes, I know when Derek was taunting Max about his dirty little (or dirty big) secret in front of gurning Lauren and her gaping-mouthed cousin, he put special emphasis on the word "fraud."
Now we've seen the three South London thugs who chased Derek and wanted to know about the whereabouts of Max. Derek's been taking money off Max, ostensibly to pay "their friends." Well, we've surmised that he hasn't been paying them - even the money "they" demanded Max pay within 24 hours went (via Derek) to pay for Max's stag do.
I don't think these guys have been demanding money at all. I think Max's secret has everything to do with a woman and possibly a child as well.
Why? Well, Max - like all the Brannings - is a moral coward. Unlike the jeans-and-leather-clad Mitchells who were handy in a fight, the Brannings, although from a boxing background like the Mitchells, are booted and suited and want to avoid physical contact if possible. That includes Jack. And Jack and Max even came out the worse for wear against Harry Gold.
When faced with controversy, they'll try to blag their way out of a situation and go out of their way to avoid physical confrontation with any adversary.
Cast your minds back a few months when Max found himself sat outside a council house with a thick envelope of money. He sat for the longest time, looking at the door. Then when he approached the door, there was another moment of reflection. Instead of just pushing the envelope through the letter box, he almost knocked at the door.
There was obviously someone on the other side whom he wanted to see. Max, being Max, that person could only have been a woman ... or a child. Or both.
Max was gone from Walford for 3 months. When he and Derek arrived in Walford, they were en route to Manchester. They'd been in Lewisham for a couple of months before the "Lithuanian mafia" ran them out. But also with them in the car that evening was a young woman, from Walthamstow, who was supposed to be going to Manchester. In the end, when Max and Derek decided to stay, Derek gave her some notes and told her to take the tube home.
Three months is enough time for Max to have established a relationship with this woman and to have left her pregnant. Maybe these thugs have something to do with her, as in family, and that's why they are after Max.
